Date night: Peter Andre and new girlfriend Elen Rivas enjoyed a romantic dinner date at an Italian restaurant in Surrey over the weekend

As Alex Reid packs up his bags and prepares for life without Katie Price he may well find comfort from her ex, who has shown there is life after the glamour model.

In fact, Peter Andre and new squeeze Elen Rivas were looking happier than ever as they enjoyed a romantic dinner date on Saturday night.

Peter, 37 and Elen, 35, dined at Italian restaurant La Capanna, in Surrey over the weekend and couldn’t take their eyes off each other.

And it seemed they were both eager to impress having made considerable effort with their appearance, despite the low-key location.

Elen, who was last night voted off Dancing on Ice, was dressed in a short leather shift dress with sky-high satin wedges and braved the cold without a jacket.

Pete, who couldn’t help but admire his date’s figure, dressed up in a shiny grey suit and a pale blue shirt.

Lampard's former fiancée and mother of his two children was treated to first class treatment by the singer who seemed unable to keep his hands off the model and acted the perfect gentleman opening the door of the restaurant and placing a protective hand on the small of her back.

And things have been moving fast for the coupe who have only been together for a few months.

Pete and Elen - who share the same management company Can Associates - revealed earlier this month that they've been dating since November but have already introduced their children to one another in a move that reportedly infuriated Pete’s ex-Katie.

And by the looks of things Peter couldn't take his eyes of his date last night as he admired her svelte form.

But her fine figure didn't help her skating and she was booted off the ITV show last night.

She was competing against former Neighbours star Criag McLachlan and Jennifer Metcalfe, but it was the latter who narrowly made it through to next week's show after receiving the most votes from the public.

Stunned: Elen was less than impressed with the scores she received from the judges but at least she will have Peter to comfort her

Following her performance with partner Rozycki in the skate off, Elen said: 'I think it went very well. But I'm gutted though, I'm really sad to be here.'

As the results were announced she looked noticeably upset and said she had enjoyed the process ‘very much’.

But at least she had Pete’s shoulder to cry on, and judging from these photos he will have been more than happy to comfort his new girl.
